Progress Report, November 15
Public Relations Event: Book Fundraiser for library at Providence Christian Academy
Overview:
Our project is moving along well. I continue to be pleased with the communication that Sharon and I have been able to have about our ideas to put forth towards our project. What we’re doing take a bit of creativity and organization, and I have no doubt in my mind that we are on the right track with implementing the skills that each of us has with organization and creativity. Our ideas just keep getting better.
Work Completed:
Over the past week Sharon and I have been working on our lay and expert documents for English 490 so we managed to get a few things done. We went by Tiger Town Graphics and put the order in for our t-shirt designs. Now we are waiting to get the proofs back from them to see what the t-shirt look likes and give them the go. We straightened our flyer out so that once we get the photo placed on it the flyer will be ready to print and distribute. We continue to run our classified in the The Tiger and we have a Facebook group.
Next Steps:
Our next step, as mentioned above, is going to be securing our t-shirt order, by finding out how many people want to purchase t-shirts. We thought that we could encourage people to order a t-shirt, or two, by giving them service hours in exchange. After all, by bringing books and ordering a t-shirt they are contributing to community service activity. We also need to decide what pizza company we will use for the party as well as secure the 1941 Studio in Daniel.
Conclusion:
We are very busy at the moment, and will be for the next few weeks, but having people already contacting us about the book collection, with books to donate, has secured Sharon and I’s feelings about being successful with our event. We collected a number of books, over 20, from a woman in Seneca on Tuesday, and we continue to get calls from people willing to donate. We will find a place to keep our books, whether it’s at my house or Sharon’s. Everything seems to be moving along as well as can be expected, we will just use our time after Thanksgiving to start compiling our documents and producing our papers.
